On Tuesday, April 11, at 7:00 p.m., Jenny Steadman, from the Connecticut Historical Society, will give a presentation for the Stafford Historical Society about Connecticut's own, Katharine Hepburn, at the Stafford Community Center.
With a stage and film career that spanned six decades, Katharine Hepburn is an American icon. Born and raised in Connecticut, Hepburn had a career in stage, film and television that reflected the changing role of women in broader society. Challenging the norms of the day, she took control of her image and identity by establishing a unique sense of style which influenced countless women, fashion designers, and the informal, elegant approach to American style that continues to resonate today. The story of her life-long ties to Connecticut offers a complete picture of how Hepburn became the woman and the star she was. This presentation will link her career and legacy to her roots in Connecticut to ask how she achieved her truly extraordinary legacy.
The presentation will be at the Stafford Community Center, 3 Buckley Highway, Stafford Springs. The event is free and the public is invited. A short business meeting will precede the program.
